Sean Sherman
Hey, Martylama! We don't put external links inline. There are already two links on the page to his website. Valereee (talk) 15:05, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Valereee, I was hoping to add the inline link for Sean's non-profit site which is a very important part of his work. https://natifs.org/. But it seem you don't allow inline links. Thanks for your advice. Martylama (talk) 07:48, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Sean Sherman, you may be blocked from editing. Daniel Case (talk) 18:36, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * I don't actually think they've discovered talk pages yet. Valereee (talk) 18:42, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

questions

 * I am sorry. I did not intend to do disruptive editing. I am updating this page for Sean Sherman himself and he would like some things updated. I am new to this so apologize for my ignorance. I will ask more questions here before adding and changing things. Thanks. Martylama (talk) 07:45, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I have another question. Sean would like these video links added. Is this possible?
 * Sean interviewed by Dallas Goldtooth (“the Spirit” in Reservation Dogs)
 * Almanac piece
 * The Indigenous Food Lab YouTube channel
 * Video of Sean introducing our part of the USDA Indigenous Food Sovereignty project

 * Hey, Martylama! Thanks for coming in. No, except in certain limited cases WP doesn't allow external links inline, and we never allow those that are promotional, which these are. There's a prominent link to NATIFS on the main page of his website, which is linked twice in the article. Readers who are interested can find it.
 * Re:video links. Again we only use them if there's a reason. I'll look at them to see if there's any information in any of them that needs to be included, or any that seem to be appropriate for the External links section, but generally a Wikipedia article isn't about what the subject wants out there. It's about what the reader needs to know to understand the subject. There's a Press section on the website, easily found by any reader who clicks there.
 * You'll need to disclose your paid editor stats by following the instructions at WP:PAY, and as a paid editor you should refrain from editing the article directly. Editing it directly will attract hostile attention. You can make WP:requested edits on the article talk page, which is at Talk:Sean Sherman. You should do this immediately.
 * The most important things for you to keep in mind when you make edit requests:
 * We are all volunteers here, every one of us. Literally no one here is paid. There are no work assignments, we all choose where to work, and we all have limited hours to spend volunteering. When you ask us to make an edit for you, you are asking us to spend our volunteer time to help you get paid.
 * You'll make it easier for us if you learn how to make a good edit request. A bad one is "Please add information about his work with X. Here's an article" A good one is "Please change 'two restaurants' to 'three restaurants', here's a link to the article which says "Sherman, who owns three restaurants in Minnesota...". You'll also get better cooperation if you don't make edit requests too often, limit yourself to the number of changes each time, and educate yourself on what is likely to be an accepted edit request vs. a rejected one. You can find information at WP:WPISNOT
 * Wikipedia is about what readers need to know, not about what the subject wants out there. LinkedIn, social media, his website are where he can make sure what he wants out there is out there. Here on Wikipedia, we summarize what reliable sources are saying.
 * WP:Teahouse is where you can ask questions, but don't go there before you declare your paid status, and I recommend you open with something like, "I'm a paid contributor, trying to do this right, and I have a question about X".

 * So, I'll answer about the videos here since we started this here, but future discussion needs to be at the talk page of the article. Almost all of those links are broken for me. Bare URLs rot over time, you need to get them archived at the Wayback Machine, then use the archive links. I watched the first one, and there wasn't anything in it that seems to provide additional info for the article. The YouTube channel is another that should go onto the website, social media, LinkedIn, etc. Valereee (talk) 11:16, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for clarifying and taking the time to answer. Would it make sense to create a new WP entry for NĀTIFS? Thank you for all you do and I hope I won't have to bother you in the near future. Martylama (talk) 12:12, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The minimum requirement for an article is that the subject is notable. To support a claim for notability we need to see three instances of WP:SIGCOV in WP:Reliable sources that are WP:Independent of the article subject, at least two of which are from outside the local area and outside of industry-niche publications. I know that's a lot to take in. Valereee (talk) 12:31, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Editing logged out
Hey, Martylama, please read this page, and especially the section headed 'Contributing to the same page or discussion with multiple accounts'. Please inform others in the organization that they shouldn't edit the page directly. Undisclosed paid or COI editing tends to attract hostile scrutiny from other editors. Valereee (talk) 11:12, 7 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I've tagged the article for Undisclosed Paid Editing. Valereee (talk) 16:28, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
